The Architect will celebrate the contributions architects have made to our
environment through the furniture, objects, and equipment they’ve invented in
response to the buildings they’ve conceived. The most rigorous spaces, after all,
are integrated environments. As Louis Kahn said, "Design is not making beauty.
Beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love." Furniture, millwork,
and lighting by great architects have the ability to animate space, to transcend
their status as mere objects. "Architecture is the reaching out for the truth," Kahn
continued. It is through an investigation of those objects that we can approach the
philosophy of these great authors and ultimately, we hope, the truth.
